ABOUT THE SHOW:
Studio Critical: is a Manchester studio creating tactile wooden objects. Maker Nick Vorstermans focuses his practice on using locally and sustainably sourced materials. His wooden spoons, bowls, furniture and other functional pieces are handmade, many of them from green wood salvaged from urban trees that fell naturally or were trimmed.
Studio Critical: embraces a slow studio practice and encourages the thoughtful use of hand tools. Nick sees woodwork not only as a way to create beautiful everyday objects but as a rejection of mass production and consumerism. By mindfully constructing each piece using hand tools, he can make usable, treasured pieces from renewable and sustainable resources.
The life cycle of wood is important to Nick’s practice. Each piece of salvaged wood has a unique history and quality which informs his final designs. Nick is committed to having a low environmental impact. His holistic approach connects him to the material and his urban environment.
